Jeff gets home in only two more sleeps.
If I should die this very moment
I wouldn’t fear
For I’ve never known completeness
Like being here
Wrapped in the warmth of you
Loving every breath of you
Still my heart this moment
Or it might burstWanna stay right here
‘Til the end of time
‘Til the earth stops turning
Gonna love you until the seas run dry
I’ve found the one Ive waited for

I recently recorded an interview with Cybershack, a radio show for geeks/gamers. It was a difficult interview so I’m not completely happy with it. It was all in one take and they didn’t want to give me the questions in advance, but all in all it turned out ok I think. I’m hoping to get them more involved in FOSS and hopefully even get FOSS on the TV show someday 
Check out the podcast of the interview here and it starts about 13 minutes 33 seconds.
Today I rode home from Macquarie University to Surry Hills again, about 25 kms. I sheared about 20 mins off my first time, bring me down to 1 hour 40. A long way to go to getting fit! I was really excited though because I counted another 65 bikes on the road! I feel like I’m in some sort of special club! I found the secret harbour bridge path for bikes (ok it isn’t secret, but I hadn’t known about it till then), and had one fellow rider try to hit on me, which was, well just plain weird. I’m bad at picking if a person if just being friendly or sleazy at the best of times, let alone when I’m trying to avoid traffic!
Anyway, I had a few friendly riders help me figure out where to go and I’m really enjoying the bike culture. Thanks Lindsay, Steve and Mike for inspiring me to start
The University of NSW CyberLaw Centre will be running a GPL3 Seminar sometime in November. They are after input, speakers and feedback about what needs to be covered. Contact them to have your say to ensure the conference covers issues that affect developers and our community. The CyberLaw centre have been doing a bunch of great events and research about FOSS licensing, copyright and other legal issues. It should be a very interesting event
I love it when community efforts can lead to tangible positive outcomes!
So now the Opensource WA resource centre is staying open.
Mr Grocott denied there was any threat to funding and said the Government recognised that greater investment in open-source software was needed for WA to stay competitive in a market of increasing importance to both business and consumers.
Rock!
I went riding today with Mary and Andrew. They did 35km and I did 25km (I got there late). It was a lot of fun and I’m definitely going to be riding from work more often which is about 20km.
Now back to essay writing
Yes, I am frustrated at Eriks comments on Islam. But I have to say, he certainly does his research:
Now I am certainly not an expert on the Qur’an, but after 10 minutes research…
Wow Erik! Don’t go out of your way here. Your depth of understanding is certainly astounding.
So, according to this web page…
Seriously Erik. As we all know there is a lot of crazy crack out there on the internet. You need to cross reference. Have you ever actually spoken to a Muslim (on purpose)? Have you asked anyone who studies the religion about this? Considering your above attempts I would suggest no.
The website you quote also had the following:
www.submission.org is not owned, governed, maintained, managed or operated by any kind of legal organizations or organized groups.
Not a totally reputable source perhaps? I have to say, unless you can read Arabic and look at the original texts then you can’t be sure. Anyway, in just a few minutes of my own browsing:
Rape is an abhorrent crime and an abominable sin. This heinous crime is forbidden not only in Islam but in all religions, and all people of sound thinking and pure human nature reject it.
A raped woman is a victim that must be treated with honor and kindness. She is not required to produce four witnesses to prove the crime done against her, nor is she punished for the crime done against her.
Both from this article by an actual Sheikh.
So please stop talking about that which you don’t know. Stick to programming and your obviously hidden talent for web design 
Awesome! I get my own theme song! Check out my interview with the crazy and zany LUG Radio guys. Thanks LUG Radio! You guys rock
Heh, there is a website for Linux jobs with the domain hotlinuxjobs.com. I guess we’re really getting somewhere now
Warning, major pink ahead! (Not my fault!)
Yesterday was the first TechGirls event, which is strongly based on the success of events like Go Girls, Gidgits and other events linked from the TechGirls website. We had ~250 girls in the Central Coast with some great speakers, and awesome demo zones. I was looking after a room of girls and ran a Linux gaming demo zone with hardware generously donated by Craige for the day, thanks! The girls loved the games (particularly Super Tux) and I had one girl who came specifically to see Linux come over really excited to see Linux there and keen to get more involved. Awesome stuff!
Every attendee got an Ubuntu CD, and there was information about usergroups, the Australian Development Gateway, FOSS and more on display, as well as the few remaining SFD tshirts, which were all XXXL sized, but still very appreciated
We are looking to run the first such event in Sydney (of such size) mid next year for about 2000-3000 girls. Anyone interesting in helping out or sponsoring, please get in contact with me The current website will be updated with a report soon.
